Contribute to Significant Efforts in Conservation

While we still feature important births and hatchings, we need to know why this birth is important to conservation as a whole. Was this an SSP recommended birth? Is this the first birth of this animal in an institution or in North America?

Besides reporting on births and hatchings, this section also includes news about other conservation efforts. Are members of your organization working to restore a rare lily to its natural environment? Did a group of people from your organization recently travel somewhere to work on a conservation project? Are you involved in an innovative conservation project within the local community? Please let us know.

Contribute to Exhibits

When sending in announcements about your latest exhibit opening, include the following:

opening date
length of time to design/construct
designer
square footage
cost and source of funding

Contribute to Member News

If you have any news from your organization that does not fit into the exhibits or conservation portion of the magazine, please send us that as well. Did your organization recently receive a grant? Win an award? If you've got something happening at your organization that you think is important and that other members should know, tell us!
